Overall Topic and Format of Workshop:

The IFIP WG 1.7 on "Theoretical Foundations of Security
Analysis and Design" was established to investigate the
theoretical foundations of security. It aims to discover and
promote new ways to apply theoretical techniques in computer
security, and to support the systematic use of formal
techniques in the development of security related
applications.

The workshop of Working Group 1.7 is an open event. All
researchers working on the theory of computer security are
invited. WITS '02 is the second workshop, the first having
been held in Geneva in July 2000 (WITS'00).

The program will encourage discussions by all attendees,
both during and after scheduled presentations, on
participants' ongoing work. Extended abstracts of work
accepted for presentation at the Workshop will be
distributed at the Workshop the participants. Although -- as
in 2000 -- there will be no formally published proceedings
of this year's workshop, selected papers will be invited for
submission to a special issue of the Journal of Computer
Security based on the Workshop.
